Not long after the freshet in July, which
flooded three-fourths of this city and caused
a vast deal of damage, DIR. Eugene Foster,
chairman of the Board of Health, drew up
a plan by which a levee could be built

on the popular nina To-day a called meet
ing OF the City Council was held to hear
from DR., Foster on the subject He made

animated discussion arose among the Coun-
cilmen as t. the disposition of the matter.
1t was fienally given in charge OF the Canal
Committee. This committee will examine
into the project infinitely, and the agitation
will result most likely in giving Augusta a
substantial preventive from future invasion

pairs at Savannah, and be put upon rivers

The Republicans of lows opened their
cam paign Tuesday In very suspicious
manner, holding mass meetings In sill parts
efsibe state, addressed by Republican
lie aders. Senator Allison was greeted with
a large audience at West Union, where he
discussed national issues In a masterly man
ner. His speech was pow
erful discussion Of current politics and will
be re ad with interest sll over the state.
Governor Larrabee, at Odetot, received an
enthusiastic welcome and was heard with
great pleasure SIS be discussed both state
and national affairs. Eek Governor Gear
had a very large and enthusiastic meeting
at Medispolis and his speech, which
was very effective and convincing. Mr..
Dolliver, who Is always an entertaining
speaker, won new lsurels at Livermore,
an d other speakers throughout the state
10 ined in the suspicious beginning OF the
campaign. From now on the fight will be
pressed vigorously and great results can be
expected from the impetus given by these
opening meetings

KITCHEN ENTERTAINMENT.

The Brooklyn Eagle, which as Demo
cratic paper has always had pretty warm
side for the Mugwump, has concluded that
these conceited and troublesome creatures
have been petted long enough. So 1t OBJ
serves, "The Mugwump is useful In bis
way, but he should be made to keep his
place. That place Is not in the parlor where
the family conference Is held, but in an
other and lot quite so pleasant part of
the house" That Mr.. Mugwump must
move down into the kitchen and must take
up his place among the pots and kettles as
useful but not ornamental part of the
furniture. So while the Democrats are
still willing to use the Mugwumps In a
mental capacity they propose to make them
understand that their place Is In the rear
along with all the other disagreeable but
serviceable utensils. The Mugwump In the
kitchen will be a novel sight after the
treatment he has received and favors he has
been demanding In the front parlor. Prob
ably the Democrats will consent to his en-
joying the society Of. the ST. John cook,
but both these useful creatures must not
make the mistake of supposing they belong
to the family and can sit at the first table

ENFORCING THE EDMUNDs LAW.

The annual report of the Utah commits
sloners makes a gratifying showing of the
work they have done. While that terri
tory Is by No n cans converted to respec,
for the law, 1t has made great progress In
the last few years, and much good has been
accomplished. The report of the commits
stoners showed that since the passage of the
Edmunds law, in 1882, SAL persons have
been indicted for violation of Its provisions,
and 2e9 of these were convicted. Many of
those who escaped conviction are fugitives
from justice, and some of the distinguished
heads of the church are hiding from the
law like any common criminal.
The commissioners very properly con-
denim the attempt made by the Mormon
authorities to seek admission to the Union
under the disguise of law.respecting con
1t Is well understood that the
constitution which was adopted a few
months ago was onlya cover for evasion of
the federal statutes in case Utah became a
State. 1t will take something more than
overtures of this kind to satisfy the nation
that polygamous Mormons who have been
for years In defying and disre-
garding the law have been converted In
day to respect for it, and to condition Of
good either ship.

THE MEN WHO BUILD CITIES

Wichita has grown from an Indian trad.
ing post to a metropolitan city within
sixteen years. Metropolitan in population,
metropolitan in bus! ness, In buildings and
In ideas
There are scores of other cities IL the
United States which have grown within the
past decade into commercial importance
and greatness, springing up like veritable
mushrooms which grow in a night.
Who are The men that build up these
cities?
They are often of moderate means who's e
capital is mostly in a firmness of purpose
and determination to succeed. They are
the far sighted men who can see In the
future the real wealth and importance OF
location; men who are quick to take ad
vantage Of everything which will tend tt
be of benefit to their city.
These men project and build railroad
and water works, erect magnificent build
ipgs, interest manufacturers, and spare nc
effort to build up commercial relations witt
other cities
They are always ready to invest thei
money In new enterprises, and believe In
the material advancement of the city. They
do not sit idly by and watch others work
content to occupy poor and unsightly
buildings, which would disgrace any com
munity, and grow rich at the expense Of
the work Of their neighbors, whose efforts
to improve their own property enhances tn,
value Of all that ad jacent to 1t.
Every man who has the fiuan cial mean!
and intelligence should consider It his duty
10 do his share of the work, and contribut,
to the general advancement Of the city
where they may live.

Dodge City proposes to put In operation
q wooden mill at hat place at a cost Of
SIS, COO. The tributary country furnishes
an ample supply of wool to keep such an
enterprise going and the idea is to retain
the profits in its manufacture to the home
people, which Is correct one. There is no
product of the state susceptible of being
man ufactured into an article Of commerce
that cannot be thus manufactured 10 just as
good advantage here as to shiT 1t to some
other portion of the country. The people
of the state are beginning TO realize this
fact and We See variety of manufacturing
Industries springipg up on every hand. Let
the good work go on. Kansas had just as
well be at the head Of the column In point
ef manufacturing as she is In other re-
spects.
